2015, Neurosurgery Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :The cost-effectiveness literature in vascular neurosurgery is similarly sparse12,24,69–72; and studies comparing the cost of surgical clipping versus endovascular treatment of ruptured aneurysms provide contradictory results.73–76 As in trauma, functional, pediatric, and vascular neurosurgery, there is a paucity of literature addressing the cost of neurosurgical oncology (ie, brain tumor treatment),77–85 and a majority of these articles are from outside the United States.20,86–95 The authors' research group, therefore, has focused efforts on performing the first rigorous CEAs with decision-tree analyses for the management of benign brain tumors, including vestibular schwannomas, prolactinomas (prolactin-secreting pituitary tumors), and meningiomas.
New developments in intracranial stereotactic radiotherapy for metastases
2015, Clinical OncologyCitation Excerpt :Limited information suggests that outcomes are comparable for patients with a single brain metastasis undergoing surgery or SRS, but the only randomised trial comparing the two modalities closed early due to poor accrual [13]. SRS is suggested to be more cost-effective than surgery for brain metastases [14–17], but evidence addressing this in the UK is lacking [18]. The principal aims of treatment of metastatic disease regardless of its site are to improve the duration and the quality of survival.
